How to delete Discord account?

If you’re wondering how to delete your Discord account – here’s what we would do.

Discord is one of the largest online platforms in the world, and anyone in the gaming world has certainly used, or at least heard of, the voice-chat service. However, despite the swelling mass of Discord, there’s still a large amount of folk out there who want to tuck away their Discord account.

Discord revolutionised chat-room services as it gave a near unlimited amount of private and public servers for friends to enjoy. Within those servers, you could have as many chatrooms as you need, text channels, music bots, and other automated bots. However, while Discord still functions perfectly for the vanilla gaming social experience, recent changes may be prompting users to reconsider things.

The Discord Privacy Policy now ambiguously dances around whether or not they collect voice and video chat data, as before they confirmed that they don’t, though now it’s not mentioned at all. It’s not clear if they do or don’t collect voice data, though regardless users are now slightly dubious.

In light of that – here’s how to cancel your Discord account.
